BRYTON IN ssF0RGIVEN,,s A Large And Brilliant Audience To
 Be Rreaent To.Nfght

Re Present To.Nfght.
 The return of the popular actor Frederic Bryton to the New Haven Opera House to- night will one of the most brilliant dramatic events of the season here. MT. yton and his admirable company so thoroughly inau- gurated themselves into the esteem and good will of New Haven theater-goers during their recent engagement here, the sale of seats for the three performances is unusually large
 Few attractions become positively popu- lar in so short time as this. From the first performance of the piece on Thanksgiving afternoon, interest in the handsome actor
 was as keen it was general, and tho re- maining four performances of that engage ment were attended by packed houses. Since that time inquiries as to the return of the company have been numerous at the New Haven Opera House, and the result
 was, when the sale of seats opened Tues day morning, the demand, which has since kept steadily up, was very
 great. In speaking of the Bryton sale last
 evening Manager Wall of the New Haven
 Opera House said: s'I have watched with
 much interest the large sale for the Bryton
 engagement and have noticed that the pur-
 chasers are not confined to one class of peo-
 pie, as is usually the case with attractions of
 this high order. Ordinarily when sale is
 large nine tenths Of the buyers are of the
 wealthier class, but in this case the division
 seems to be equal between all classes. For instance, this afternoon prominent society
 lady came to the opera house in her carriage and bought four orchestra seats, and she had just driven away when laboring man, ap- parent1y, secured two seats in the balcony The patrons of the gallery, also, have caught the spirit of the thing and the sale for ad. mission to that part of the house is the largest in the history of the house during my management. This unusual gen. eral uprising clearly convinces me that Bryton is the coming great peoples favorite in the literal sense of the term His man. ager assures me that this New Haven experi- ence is simply repetition of that in other cities. After Edwin Adams death predic- tion was rife as to his successor in the great public heart for, while Adams was not the greatest actor of his time, there is no denying that he was the great man of the people, Wherever he appeared the theaters were packed, and the general public seemed | to delight in recognizing him on | the street and calling him by | name. Up to the present time no actor has appeared that combined the necessary ouali- | ties to take his place in so eminent a depree
 as Bryton. He is young, handsome, vicor- 1 ous, has 8 great deal of personal maeneetism l and he adapts himself readily to any posi- | tion or social company into which he may be ! thrown Wherever he goes he is entertained
 at the clubs and invited to private residences l and, generally, is making rapid strides toward l the goal of immense popularity. No, there | is no doubt that Bryton is the coming man and predict fer him tomorrow night one ! of the heartiest welcomes ever accorded an actor in New Haven"

1vNzAN BEECHER LECTURES. The Tnsurrection of LabOr-What
 Gives Value to the Products of Labor
 -Discussion by Rev. Washington
 Gladden.
 Rev. Washington Gladden. lectured yester- day afternoon in the Marquand chapel upon l ssThe Insurrection of Labor" It is denied l that there is a labor question, that the people l at large have any cause for discontent ana asserted that if Chicago would hang her anarchists, etc.. all would be we'll. It is plain, however, that deep discontent exists, and that there must be adequate cause for it. It is true that the wage worker can buy more with his daily wage now than he could one hundred years ago, but it is an open question whether year by year his wages are higher even in that sense The standard of comfort is higher, but it is not sure indication of real prosperity. One may be naked in para disc, but when the fashion to wear clothes IS universal nakedness is embarrassing. The problem of existence is not growing easier. The periods of industrial depression return at shorter intervals and stay longer, pushing multitudes into the abyss of pauperlsm The workingman has a grievance even though he cannot exactly define what 1t is. It is claimed that it lies in the fact that he does not receive the entire product of his la bor, but it is not true that he should receive the entire product. Labor is not the sole cause of value. General Tom Thumb was the possessor of commodity of great value, but his diminutive stature was not the pro duct of labor. Every product of labor pos sesses value in proportion as it gratlhes hu- man desire; not in proportion to the amount of muscular exertion expended upon it, but in proportion to it's suitableness to those to whom it is offered in exchange. Intelh- gence, skill and taste give value to the pro ducts of labor. The theory that the work man has right to all is irrational, for labor is not the sole cause of wealth nor the sole measure of value.
 Probably it is true that the workman does not receive his just proportion. MT. Glad den then explained the way in which the present crisis was reached by the combina- tion on both sides. The workmen are grouped together under managers. The sys- tenn of pure competition we never had. Com petition has lost it's power as regulator of wages and this combination on the part of the employers and employed has taken its place. The collapse of competition is due to the failure to mix with it the proper moral correctives The want of Christian temper has brought us into the trouble and the exer else of it will alone bring us out ot it.. The only law which can regulate these forces is the law of the kingdom of heaven. The sub ject of the lecture this afternoon will be fETho ool1onsa of oonnatition D

Al Good Appetite.


 The late Mrs. Clarissa Raymond of Will ton, who died recently aged 104 years 8 months and 24 days, had rousing good ap- petite for centenarian. Her usual bill of fare for her last years, as learned by visi- tor, may interest persons not yet thirty, who are trying to sustain life on Graham crackers and ''sich." For breakfast she usually had buckwheat cakes, bread, cake and weak coffee Her dinner consisted of boiled pota- toes, well seasoned with salt, pepper and liberal supply of vinegar. At dinner she drank cup of tea. At supper she ate more sparingly, the meal consisting entirely of bread and butter, and the drink was hard cider. Of the latter she was particularly fond, as she said it warmed her up and gave her life and strength.

A TRAMP FORGED re EAT

Coed Bread and Butter Which He Had
 R@pmdIate@ After Abusing the Do-
 nor.
 A we'll known builder of this city, upwards of seventy years of age, is very agile and active for man of his years, and recently coming to post and rail fence about five feet high leaped over it at bound, merely touching one hand. He went out to his barn one day recently and returning saw an ill- favored, saucy tramp of vigorous frame, who looked as if he had daily hearty appetite. The builder further observed that his wife had slammed the door in the tranp's face and that piece of bread and butter which had been given the tramp by the lady on his piteous application for food was sticking to the side of the house where it had been thrown by the tramp after he had indignant ly refused to eat it. The builder thereupon marched up to the tramp and demanded that hs should eat that bread and butter. The tramp eyed the builder savsgely and refused. Thcreupon the tramp found two pairs of strong hands clutching him by the throat, and heard the demand that he should eat the food repeated The tramp held out 6 mo ment and then graciously relentsd and gulped down the bread and butter piece by piece. Having satisfied the builder on this point, Ire tramp was allowed to depart, and left without returning any thanks.
